AN OCCASION

"Where are you?" Alice screamed in the receiver as I looked through the racks with my sister, Bella.

At first, I believed Bella was totally not my sister, and it was just something thrown in there from the Twilight gods.

But when Bella came home with us after Spring Break and all that legal work Daddy had to do, Dad pulled out photo albums. What he said was true! There was a picture of a 8 month baby with a newborn.

"I'm at the Port Angeles mall," I said nonchalantly, looking at the ugly boot I had on my leg. It's better than crutches.

"WHAT?! Aubrie, we agreed, for your punishment of sneaking behind my back, I got to choose your dress, do your hair, nails, makeup, and you do this to me?!" Alice was outraged.

"Chill homegirl, we did agree and I'm fine with all of that. I trust you to make me look hot. No, we're here for Bella. I changed her mind last minute." I winked at her. She laughed and kept searching for a dress.

"Oh. Well, in that case, you can still come home. I bought a dress for because I knew this was going to happen." Alice said.

Of course she did. That little know-it-all.

"Is it blue? Because Bella and I both agree she looks really pretty in blue." I told Alice through the phone.

"It's blue." Alice confirmed.

"Okay, well in that case, we can leave. Let's go Bella. Alice already has a dress."

"See you in forty." Alice grumbled. "This sets us behind schedule you know-." I hung up on my best friend and Bella and I walked out of the store.

Bella climbed in the driver's side of the truck as I settled for the passenger's side. Bella got her wrist cast off a week ago, my leg was still healing.

"I'm glad you changed your mind. Eric is going to be ecstatic." I teased, turning on the radio.

Bella rolled her eyes. "He won't take a hint."

Bella moving to Forks was a very nice dynamic to our family. Her knowing about vampires made it easy for me to talk to someone if I felt frustrated.

When she first came here, I did everything in my power to make her welcome. I've done my fair share of Bella bashing back in the day, but I felt sorry for her.

When I let her read Twilight, I was nervous she was going to stake her claim on Edward, but her reaction totally surprised me. She laughed and said I could have him. She told me that she could never see herself in that relationship and agreed that Stephenie Meyer made her more whiny than what she actually is.

But I still clutch my hold on Edward. I mean you would to when there is a whole franchise about Edward and Bella. Edward thinks I'm being ridiculous when I'm just being safe.

Of course this Bella had a different upbringing than that Bella. And they're under different circumstances.

Plus, Bella said she only sees Edward as a brother. The minute Edward officially met Bella, they got along great. Their relationship was completely platonic and they've already argued a few times! I was thrilled with the progress.

The school's reaction of my secret half-sister was very…interesting. My group took her with open arms, Lauren and Jessica a little bit too much. Bella really enjoys Shae and Angela. They're practically best friends.

As soon as we pulled into the Cullen's driveway, Alice ran to greet us and practically threw Bella on her back and held me in her arms.

"We have no time for you to be handicapped." Alice said, running us into the house, into her room.

"I'm not handicapped!" Bella defended herself.

I laughed. "You can barely walk and chew gum at the same time."

Bella scowled. "Why wasn't I blessed with the coordination gene?"

"Okay who goes first?" Alice asked excitedly.

Bella pointed at me. "I don't play Bella Barbie."

Alice frowned. "Please, I'll give you a natural look. I'll only curl your hair. I won't do anything as torturous as Aubrie." Alice had the wicked glint in her eyes.

Bella sighed. "Fine,"

I smiled at Alice. "Joke's on you. I love being pampered."

"But in the books-." Alice started.

"Was Bella. And you already witnessed her reaction." I finished.

"Fine. Has your manicure chipped at all since last night?" Alice asked.

"Nope, tell her Bella, I've been extremely cautious." I said.

"She has. Charlie made ribs for dinner last night and she settled for a salad instead." Bella lied, semi-convincing. Eh, she's got time to learn.

"You did?" Alice asked in disbelief.

"I may have eaten one or two. But I used a fork. Kinda." I said.

"Well your nails still look perfect, so I'll let that one slide." Alice said leading me into her bathroom.

"We've got six hours until pictures so we need to spend our time wisely." Alice said.

Pictures were at my house. My whole group of friends, including Alice and Jasper, were to fit in my medium sized house. My dad almost had a heart attack.

As Alice curled my hair, we watched Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Bella made fun of it, but Alice and I watched intently. It's my guilty pleasure.

"I'm thinking about getting a dog," I commented during a commercial break.

"What?" Alice said.

"Aw, I've always wanted a dog." Bella said.

"I am thinking about getting a job to purchase a dog." I said, looking at myself in the mirror, as Alice continued to do my hair.

"What breed?" Bella asked.

"I don't know. A cute fluffy Pomeranian would be adorable but I also want a big dog like a Bloodhound or something." I said.

"I can't believe we're having this conversation." Alice said, shaking her head.

"Aw, why Al? Don't like dogs?" Bella teased.

Alice looked at me. "No. I despise them." I caught on her double meaning and giggled.

"Well, it's what I want. I want a dog." I stated again.

A couple hours later Alice was done with both my hair and makeup and now was onto Bella.

Bella didn't take long, since her hairstyle was fairly simple and her makeup was due minimal upon request.

I had that whole smokey eye thing going on and my long hair was curled and half of it was in the cute style.

"I'm so glad your natural skin tone is slightly tan, because it's going to look great with your dress." Alice told me, handing me a garment bag.

I went to her bedroom and looked at it. "Oh Alice," I sighed. It was floor length and a deep purple. It was a one shoulder, the strap being diamonds. God knows if they were real or not. There was the huge cutout on the side, giving it a seductive touch along with the ginormous slit. I noticed the slit would happen on my right leg, so my boot could still be hidden.

"It's beautiful," I murmured.

"Go ahead and try it on, I'll help Bella because we all know she'll end up tripping." Alice ushered.

I quickly stripped down and carefully put on the dress.

"It looks so much better right now than it did in my head!" Alice squealed.

"Bella you look gorgeous," I said in awe. The dress was simple, a light blue the complimented her skin tone, it was also floor length and flowy so Bella could move in it. It was strapless and had a sweetheart neck line, which gave her boobs a little push. She looked hot.

"Your shoes are silver flats." Alice told Bella. "And the only reason why I would allow something like that is because I knew you wouldn't wear the heels and your dress covers them anyway."

"Thanks?" Bella said, cocking her head like if she's trying to decide if that was a question or not.

"Your shoes, or well shoe, is in the box!" Alice said, pushing me towards her bed lightly.

It was a silver, sparkly, pump.

"Uh, it's beautiful. But is it going to throw me off balance?" I asked, looking at my boot.

"It shouldn't. I measured both the heel and your boot and I've looked at the outcome tonight. It should be fine."

"Okay," I smiled as I slipped the shoe on. She was right, it wasn't more unbalanced than usual, it actually was a little easier to walk.

Once Alice put on her black dress that had cutouts in it, we finally were ready to go downstairs.

"Okay, Aubrie you go first, Edward keeps trying to read my thoughts." Alice said.

I rolled my eyes. He's probably going crazy considering he can't read Bella's or I's thoughts and Alice has almost perfected the art of protecting hers.

I slowly walked down the stairs and Edward's jaw went slack.

"Aw, baby, you look beautiful." Edward said, taking my hand and kissing it. He then put his hand on the cut out, "I really like this part of the dress," then he slid his hand down to where the slit ended, which is upper mid thy.

My Edward is definitely more…urm…suggestive than book Edward, that's for sure.

I gave him a gentle kiss.

"There will be none of that until after we arrive. Her lipstick will get smudged." Alice said, separating Edward and I.

I scowled at her. "I'm not looking forward to the you I'm going to encounter on our wedding day."

Edward's face lit up. "Wedding?"

"Not for a while, buddy." I said, patting his shoulder.

Bella came down the stairs and we all fussed over her and how gorgeous she looked because she was simply breathtaking.

"Oh, honey that dress looks so great on you." Esme said to Bella giving her a hug. Ever since the incident in Missouri, Bella has become attached to Esme because Esme was the one who cared for her and stayed with her in the hospital.

I feel guilty because I had a mom for sixteen years, and Bella, well, she never really got one.

Go Esme!

"Where's Rosalie?" I asked.

"Emmett saw Rosalie's dress and they're having a little pre-prom fun." Edward whispered in my ear.

Oh snap. It's that provocative? But then again, it's also Emmett.

"Let's go kids," Carlisle said.

"Wait," I said. "Alice, will you take a picture of Edward and me. I promised Layla and Amelia I would." I said, handing Alice my phone.

"Of course!" Alice took it. "Now look like you guys love each other."

I smirked. "Well…alright."

"No! I can't unsee what I just saw. Do the classic prom pose." Alice ordered.

Edward got behind me and wrapped his arms loosely around my waist. I leaned into him and we both smiled.

"Perfect." Alice said.

I took the phone and looked at it. "That's actually a really good picture."

"Let's go now." Esme said.

"Jasper and I will take the truck," Alice said.

"Don't forget it doesn't like going over sixty!" I called after her. She just laughed evilly. If she breaks my truck…

Edward chuckled and led me to his silver Volvo. I got in the passenger seat as Bella got in the backseat.

"Pictures are going to be insane," Bella commented.

"They'll probably last an hour." I complained.

"Isn't this what normal girls like?" Edward asked.

"Bella's not normal and I already got the picture I wanted." I said.

"Wanna ditch?" he suggested.

Bella made an excited noise.

"We can't. Alice would kill us and Esme will be disappointed. So will my Dad. I'm hosting it, I can't not show up." I said.

We got to the house and there were already people there. We took a lot of photos in the backyard, it was an overcast, the small forest giving it a nice backdrop. Finally, around forty-five minutes later, the parents' decided they were done .

"Let's go!" I exclaimed.

"Hey, I'm gonna ride with Shae and Angela. They both said they might leave early, too." Bella said.

I rolled my eyes. "Have fun."

"Oh honey, you just look so beautiful." Dad said.

"Thanks Daddy." I turned to give him a hug.

"Please return home by two o' clock. Alright? Are you going to Lauren's after party?" Dad asked.

"We might stop by," I said.

"Please don't drink. And if you both do, call me and I'll pick you up! Don't drive! I won't get mad or bust the party or anything." Dad pleaded.

I laughed. "I don't like alcohol. Not my thing."

"Be safe." Dad said.

"Okay, love you." I said goodbye and then we finally got to leave.

"You're excited, aren't you?" Edward smiled, as we drove to the school.

"Well, I kinda know what to expect but the experience was muddled by Bella complaining about being a vampire the whole time, so…" I said.

"Really now," Edward mused. "And you aren't going to do that?"

I smiled smugly. This argument we've had so many times. "I told you, we got time."

Edward sighed.

"Hey, you got it good. When we get home, I'll let you read the epilogue and you can finally appreciate what you got. In the book, Bella wants to be a vampire right now." I said.

"The epilogue?" Edward asked, eyebrows raised.

"Yep, Twilight is almost done. One book down, three more to go." I was slightly exhausted by the thought of how much more I have to go through.

"That's kind of sad. What happens in the second book?" Edward asked, curiosity getting the best of him.

"I'm not going to tell you, I'm still trying to work that out. But I'll give you a hint, this was the tamest book." I said.

"Oh God," Edward muttered.

We pulled into the parking lot of the school and it was already so packed. Well as packed as all the juniors and seniors can get.

"There's a balloon arch," I giggled. "Is there going to be an ice sculpture, too?"

"Forks never fails to be classy," Edward sighed, helping me out of the car.

"I can't wait to get this stupid boot off," I grumbled, feeling inept.

"I don't know. I like you relying on me." Edward smiled.

"You're really sweet, but I'm so out of practice for cheering. Once I get this thing off, I'm seeing if I can still do my full. Or my double back tuck that I worked so hard on to get this year." I frowned at the thought of losing my tricks.

Edward shook his head. "Let's try to refrain from putting you back into a boot."

We walked, or well I limped, to the ticket table and he paid for our tickets and we finally got to walk in the gym.

It was decorated very cheesily and I loved it.

Rosalie and Emmett were already on the dance floor twerking it like no tomorrow. Rosalie's dress was red and barely covered anything. I laughed, it was so like her. It also made her look like a super model.

"Aubrie!" Mike said, abandoning Jessica to run over to me.

"Hey Mike," I fake smiled as Edward tightened his grip on me.

"Do you wanna dance?" Mike asked.

"Well, you see, I kinda promised Edward that I'll only go to the prom if he never let me go, you know with the boot and all, so I can't." I lied as I smiled apologetically.

"Oh." Mike said looking down. "Alright." He walked off dejectedly.

"Never let you go? I don't remember making such a promise." Edward teased as he brought me out to the dance floor.

"I needed an excuse that would last the whole night," I shrugged.

The fast song ended and we came to a slow one. I awed because it was 'Wanted' by Hunter Hayes, which is like the cutest song ever.

Edward lifted me up on his feet and held me close as we swayed.

"Have I told you, you are the most beautiful girl in the world." Edward whispered.

I gave him a flat look. "There's Rosalie, Alice looks stunning, Molly looks adorable as always, Katie and Natalie went all the way to Seattle to get their dresses, and Lauren, although slightly slutty, looks prett-."

"Stop. They don't hold a candle to you." Edward said, putting his forehead to mine.

"I feel like I'm five," I giggled as we danced like this for about a minute.

"You don't look five." He whispered sultrily.

"Stop seducing me," I laughed. "It's going to work one of these days."

The song ended and Edward read my face. "You're thirsty. I'll get you some punch,"

I nodded and stayed put, because, well, it was kinda hard to move around.

"Hey Aubrie," Tyler said walking over to me. "Finally we're alone."

"Excuse me?"

"Well, Lauren is in the bathroom and Edward let you go." Tyler said, dancing to the music.

"I'm still not following…?"

"Well, I know I promised to take you to prom and everything. But Lauren, you know how she is. So when she left I was like, 'Finally, I get to be with my other date'." Tyler explained, dancing in a circle around me.

Oh my God.

"Tyler, I'm not going to be your incognito prom date." I stated, trying to swallow the giggles that were bursting through the surface.

"So you want to be my real one?" Tyler asked, his hopes as high as probably him right now.

I burst out laughing. It took me a few seconds to compose myself again. Where was Edward?

"I'm sorry, but I have a boyfriend." I said.

"Oh. Well, I guess that's okay." Tyler said sadly, walking away.

What just happened? This is like the day they all asked me to the spring dance all over again.

I looked out in the crowd, scanning for Edward. He was at the punch bowl, stuck in a conversation with Jessica and Mike. I smirked. I did a onceover the crowd and saw a very familiar face.

"Jacob?" I said. I noticed once I said his name, Edward's head snapped in our direction.

"Hey cripple, how'd you spot me? I wanted to scare you." Jacob said, giving me a big hug.

"You're the only genuine tan in the room," I joked, hugging back.

"Should we dance or something?" Jacob asked, scratching the back of his neck.

"Sure," I said. "I'm in a heavy boot and a sharp heel, though. Sorry if I get a little uncoordinated." I warned.

"It's okay. I'm a man, I can take it." Jacob said. Which was laughable because he's only fifteen.

"Why are you here?" I asked.

"My dad paid me twenty bucks." Jacob blushed.

"To get some action? What a strange request." I teased.

Jacob laughed. "Not exactly…you look really pretty by the way."

"Thank you," I smiled. "Why don't you tell me the real reason why you're here?"

Jacob sighed. "He said it was a safe place to talk to you. I swear he's losing his mind."

"I can probably guess what he wants to say but go on. I know you want that master cylinder." I winked.

"How'd you know?" Jacob asked, in shock.

"It's a very predictable situation." I told him.

Jacob laughed and looked down. "Yeah, I guess."

"So, what is it?"

"I'm really sorry," Jacob said, clearly embarrassed about what he's about to say. "My dad wants you to break up with your boyfriend. He told me to tell you he said 'please'."

I threw back my head and laughed. "He's still superstitious?"

"Yeah," Jacob's eyes lowered to my boot then lingered to the scar on my hand. "When you got hurt in Missouri, he didn't exactly believe what you guys said happened."

I looked Jacob in the eyes. "I was jumped. Beaten. Trust me, I wouldn't lie about that."

It wasn't a total lie.

Jacob blushed again. "I know that, my dad is just crazy alright?"

"He's not crazy, he's just caring." I said softly. "I'm really sorry you have to do this. But at least you get your graduated cylinder!"

Jacob chuckled. "Master cylinder not graduated cylinder," Jacob then looked into my eyes. "There's more."

"Lay it on me."

"It's so bad."

"Hit me with your best shot." I said.

"I'm just going to leave."

"Jacob, I swear to God, if you don't get the cylinder thingy because you won't tell me one thing…"

"Okay, okay. He told me to tell you, really warn you, that, verbatim, 'We'll be watching'." Jacob said, before ducking his head.

"I'm going to pretend I don't feel creeped out." I said, jokingly.

"I laughed too." Jacob offered.

The song ended and I dropped my hands. "Tell him I got the message."

"Will do. Do you need help getting around or anything?" Jacob asked, concern etched on his face.

Cold arms snaked around my waist and I leaned into them, automatically knowing who they belong to.

"Hey," I smiled up at my loving, adoring, jealous boyfriend.

"Hey baby, I didn't know if you wanted the red punch or the lemonade." Edward said, handing me a glass of lemonade. "I guessed."

Oh we're pulling the 'baby' card now?

"Thanks, you guessed right. Don't you know by now that the punch always gets spiked?" I teased, sipping the drink.

"Hey Jacob," Edward greeted coolly.

"Hello Edward, I was just leaving." Jacob said. "Bye, Aubrie."

"Jacob, thank you." I called after him.

He waved and then disappeared off into the crowd.

"You're so mean," I shook my head smiling.

"What? All I did was mark was is rightfully mine." Edward said. He then noticed the raise of my eyebrow.

"Yours? I didn't know I was property." I said sarcastically.

"Don't be like that…" Edward said, wrapping his arms round my waist pulling me closer. Once I was close enough, his hands slid down to my butt.

"No," I said pushing his arms up. "I'm sorry sir, but you need a warrant to search that area."

"Aubrianna, you aren't property. You're this gorgeous, breath-takingly beautiful girl who happens to be the love of my life that never fails to put me in my place." Edward said, leaning down to kiss my lips.

I smirked. "Warrant accepted."

"Hell yeah! Aubrie, this is our jam." Brittany came over, taking my hand leading me to the center.

It was 'Make It Rain' by Travis Porter.

"You go ahead." Edward said.

I shook my head. "I think with the dance I'm about to do, you would only want me to do it on you."

Edward looked at me with a puzzled look as we reached the center.

"TWERK TEAM GO!" Lauren said.

I started to grind on Edward, I was a little red in the face. I mean it was such a dirty dance on such a gentleman.

But it was our twerk jam.

"Oh God," Edward whispered.

"I really am sorry," I said as I dropped to the ground and went back up. "It's kind of our thing."

"No, no, no. Don't stop." Edward stuttered.

It took a minute for Edward to finally loosen up enough to reciprocate with the provocative dance move.

Bailey, Connor took her since sophomores couldn't get in, started blowing her 'Twerk Whistle'.

"You know what would make this perfect?" I said to Natalie, as the song ended.

"What?"

"If No Hands by Woka Flocka Flame came on." I said. "Then we could do the grind train."

The intro of No Hands boomed through the speakers.

"Aw yeah, guys, Aubrie totally just called that!" Natalie announced.

Everyone started to get in a line, but I took Edward's hand as he went to join them. "Oh no you don't." I said.

"What? Why?" Edward asked, confused.

"Look," I said, "They're all grinding on each other. I don't want to share you." I said.

"Now who's the property?" Edward asked.

I rolled my eyes.

"Wanna go somewhere private?" Edward questioned, looking me in the eyes.

"Sure."

He led me to the back door of the gym and we walked out into the night sky. It was relatively warm and Edward kept me close to his body.

There was a gazebo with twinkle lights wrapped around.

"Oh my God." I whispered.

"Alice said this was your favorite part of the movie? That in the book all we do is talk on a bench…" Edward said.

I turned around and hugged him tightly. "I love you I love I love you."

Edward chuckled. "You mean the world to me." He helped me up the stairs. He took an iHome and pushed play. 'A Thousand Years Part 2' started to play and my eyes automatically welled up in tears.

"Oh Baby, don't cry." Edward said.

"I can't help it. You're the love of my life. This is beautiful. You made this huge romantic gesture. And when this song plays in the last movie, I bawl like a little baby. It's just too many feels, alright?" I said, full on crying right now.

He kissed my hand and lifted me onto his feet again.

"You're an interesting creature, you know that?" Edward chuckled, wiping my tears.

I brought myself together and looked up at the sky. "It's Twilight."

Edward sighed. "Another ending. No matter how perfect the day is, it always comes to an end."

I glared at him. "No emo thoughts shall be spoken aloud when this song is playing. Besides, some things don't end."

"Are you implying about transforming into a vampire again?"

I snickered. "Kind of. It was a Bella line. In the book, she asks you to turn her right now. How lame."

"That could be arranged." Edward said. He dipped me back. I closed my eyes. He kissed my neck and on the very hallow part of my throat, he kissed it slowly.

"Just kidding," Edward smirked.

"Promise you'll stay. Despite what's best for me or you. Promise me you'll stay with me. Because I love more than anything." I said.

Edward looked at me with puzzled eyes. "I promise. What's wrong?"

"The thought of losing you," I shook my head. "scares me. You better keep your promise, too. Or I will open a can of whoop-ass on you."

Edward chuckled. "I love you and we'll be together for forever."

I smiled satisfied with the answer, I'll make sure I'll bring this convo up again in New Moon.

Author's Note: ...and the end.

Well until New Moon(;

The summer drabbles are going on kinda slow but I'm already a few chapters in on New Moon. I'll probably have the first drabble/one shot/ summer chapter posted BY next Monday. And if I don't, you have permission to kick my ass.

Thanks for reading this fic, it means a lot to me.

A lot of people are still asking, YES there is a sequel. I want to post the summer chapters before I post New Moon because I think we want a few moments of Edward/Aubrie happiness and fluff before all hell breaks loose (New Moon).

A lot of you guys thought Bella would steal Edward. I know I've done a lot of Bella Bashing in my day, but this one is not that bad. She's not completely innocent either, so keep your eyes open.

REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW, they mean so much to me.
